Center hole cylinders feature a hollow bore that allows force to be applied through threaded rods or cables, enabling pulling and tensioning applications that standard cylinders cannot perform.

Center hole cylinders can apply pushing force, but they are most commonly selected for tensioning and pulling operations where centerline force application is required.

Center hole cylinders allow precise tensile force to be applied directly along the bolt axis, ensuring accurate preload without inducing bending or misalignment.

Center hole cylinders are commonly used for pulling, tensioning, and detensioning applications when properly configured with threaded adapters and reaction fixtures.
